Paul Harris Fellows

The Rotary Club of Plattsburgh honored three new Paul Harris Fellows in 2024. . Anne Cutaiar, Dana Isabella and Steve Kende were feted during the annual dinner, which was held at West Side Ballroom in Plattsburgh.
The Paul Harris Fellow honor was named for the founder of Rotary. It is the highest honor a Rotary club can bestow on a person, either inside or outside the club and acknowledges "service above self," which that individual or organization has offered to their community, their nation or to the world. 

The Paul Harris Fellow program was created to fund many Rotary Foundation programs, and Rotary clubs must collectively contribute $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation for the privilege of recognizing a person.
